Will it ever get golden color?

it does sound like a snapper is it like this

No, look at the video link I included in the post. It looks like the datnoid at the far right of the tank at the beginning of the video. The back half of the fish is black, but its striped on the front half. I was just wondering if it will get more golden colored as it matures.

 

[DiXoN]

thats just a normal indo datnoid, i've only heard red dats mentioned when its been snappers.
it may become more stable and have better colour but then again maybe not.

Oh, crap, so it may stay that ugly color its whole life? I want it to be striped throughout its body. I don't like how its back half is a solid color.

Its just unstable. It might turn stable or it might not

So will my datnoid ever stablize? Is there a way I can make that happen?
